The Nebraska Cornhuskers have canceled a scheduled football series with an SEC opponent.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported on Friday that a 2026-2027 home-and-home series between Nebraska and Tennessee had been canceled. Nebraska was set to host Tennessee in Lincoln in 2026, while the Cornhuskers were set to visit the Vols in Knoxville in 2027.
Thamel said that part of the reason for the cancelation was Nebraska wants to host eight home games in 2027 for revenue purposes. Nebraska is planning a renovation that will reduce capacity and therefore revenue, so an eighth home game could potentially help offset that.
